Meet Chris

Chris Roth for Assembly

Chris Roth has been a resident of Los Angeles since 2003. He has been an active member of the community in those years, becoming particularly involved in local activism since leaving his engineering manager position at SpaceX in 2015. He is an active member in the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, a community organizer with Ground Game Los Angeles, a core organizer with the Public Bank LA movement, and a board member of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council.

His vision is straightforward but expansive: Elevate the working class and ensure a minimum standard of living for all residents in his district, the state, and the country. His priorities include access to affordable and high quality housing for all, environmental protection, universal single payer healthcare, worker protections, stronger structures for corporate oversight, public control over local taxpayer funds through the establishment of public banks, and the overall livability in Los Angeles.

“A line that inspires collective action for the collective good.”
